Conservation Approaches to Agricultural Water Use

As producers throughout the nation grow increasingly concerned about water scarcity, farmers, ranchers and agricultural educators are beginning to explore new, conservation-oriented approaches to water use. They are managing soil to improve infiltration, selecting drought-tolerant crops and native forages, and designing innovative runoff collection systems.

"Smart Water Use on Your Farm or Ranch," a new 16-page bulletin from the Sustainable Agriculture Network, spotlights innovative, SARE-funded research into a range of conservation options including soil management, such as using compost, conservation tillage and cover crops; plant management, featuring crop rotation, water-conserving plants and rangeland drought mitigation; and water management strategies such as low-volume irrigation and water recycling.

Preview or download the entire publication at www.sare.org/publications/water.htm. To order free print copies, please visit www.sare.org/webstore, call 301/504-5236 or email san_assoc@sare.org. Please provide the title requested, your name, shipping address, and telephone number when placing your order. Agricultural educators may place orders for print copies in quantity for conferences, workshops, or other events. For a full list of resources available from SAN, visit www.sare.org/publications.


"Smart Water Use on Your Farm or Ranch" is published by the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) for the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program. SARE is funded by the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), USDA, and works with producers, researchers, and educators to promote farming systems that are profitable, environmentally sound, and good for communities.
